I am using ver 3.8.1 on an Apple Mac running OSX 10.7.5. I have a photo in JPG format which was 3264x2448 and which I cropped to 2103x2276. The original file size was 556Kb and the cropped photo is 626Kb. I left the setting under options as default.

Can anyone tell me why?

Is there a way to save the file so that it would be the same as, or smaller than, the original?
